An eating disorder is a serious mental health condition that involves severe disturbances in
eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions. Eating disorders can have a devastating
impact on physical and mental health, and can even be fatal.
There are several different types of eating disorders, including:
- Anorexia nervosa: This is characterized by a refusal to maintain a healthy body weight, intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image.
- Bulimia nervosa: This is characterized by episodes of binge eating, followed by purging behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives.
- Binge eating disorder: This is characterized by episodes of binge eating without purging
behaviors. - Other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED): This category includes eating
disorders that do not meet the full criteria for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge
eating disorder. - Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID): This is characterized by a persistent
failure to meet nutritional needs due to excessive avoidance of foods or restricted intake.
The exact causes of eating disorders are not fully understood, but they are thought to be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
Genetics: Some people may be more likely to develop an eating disorder if they have a family history of the condition.
Brain chemistry: Changes in brain chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine, may play a role in eating disorders.
Hormones: Changes in hormones, such as during puberty, may also contribute to eating disorders./
Low self-esteem: People with eating disorders often have low self-esteem and may view themselves negatively.
Perfectionism: People with eating disorders may be perfectionists and may set unrealistic expectations for themselves.
Family and peer pressure: Family and peer pressure can also contribute to eating disorders. For example, if a family member or friend is struggling with an eating disorder, it may make it more likely that someone else in the family or group will develop one.
